your argument makes no sense, the proof bares no relation to your initial statement that we were seaded. Do you intend to continue posting banal
flights of fancy with no evidence to back up or justify your contentions or will this be the last time?

To the first poster, what makes no sense? I explained, we spread and damage things. People do not follow the laws of nature.

To the second poster, we are slightly similar in appearance, but our habits show differently. A race theoretically(sp?) could evolve the same as
another in a different region. So why not a different, but older planet. What if it was near the same as Earth? What would happen then?

This will not be my last post, so don't go verbally attacking people for their opinions Lupe.

Well, there is pretty good evidence that charts our evolution from the get go...(not including the so-called missing link, of which many periodic
examples have been found). So, it's hard to argue that we were "seeded". However, it is always intriguing in how we relate to our world, and have
the ability to make things, change our environment, etc. even when other highly intelligent creatures never did (i.e. you don't see dolphins building
underwater condos). So, instead of "seeded", the better word might be "altered".

The basic law of nature is that, things must develop an equilibrium with the environment. All things must be balanced. The populations must be
maintained, no overpopulating, no underpopulating.

Wouldn't you say we are overpopulated?

Things in their natural environment will not overpopulate to an extream. Dandilions were not even in the United States before the Settlers came, now
they are most everywhere, The same goes for zebra muscles.

It's common sense. We must be in the wrong environment. We could not have developed on earth.

Now we are the only intelligent life we can compair to, but if others are like us, that means intelligent life must be a mistake.

You take the phrase "jumping to conclusions" to a whole new level. We are overpopulated for many reasons, one being the fact that for the most part
the members our species don't have to kill each other to survive. In industrialized countries, people earn money with which to buy the goods they
need to survive. They also utilize modern medical technology to prolong thier life span. That technology may not exist in third world countries, where
overpopulation is often the result of increased reproduction to try to bring more money into the family. There may be a reletively high death rate,
but there is an even higher birth rate in most third world countries.

It is our intellignece and desires that lead us to overpopulate. We are able to override the instinct to maintain a symbiotic relationship with our
environment, whereas other species lack the intelligence to act on anything other than instinct. At one time the ancestors of modern humans coexisted
with the environment, but as they gained intelligence they developed an apathetic attitude toward the environment. That doesn't mean that they we
were "seeded" from space, it just means that we developed negative attitudes toward the environemnt as we developed into a civilization.

Your statements are not common sense, they are wild conclusions based on incredibly flawed logic. I'm not saying that everything I've said here is a
fact, but my opinions are rooted what I believe to be sound logic.

If we were seeded, then WHY are 98% of our genes the same ones as found in the great apes? Why are so many of our genes the same ones found in living
organisms from plants to animals? 50% of our genes are the same ones found in bananna plants, you know.

A virus is similar to humans. I'm sure you remember this speach from the matrix. A virus overpopulates and uses all the resources of one area and
moves on to a different area only to destroy that too. Kind of like what humans do. Are viruses from another planet? *cough* IDK what you would say
about that one but i think they're from right here on earth.

Also, viruses are not intelligent. Unless they have very very tiny brains which..well..is not the case. So maybe it's not our intelligence that is
what makes us overpopulate and destroy, but our stupidity.

But, if I'm remembering correctly from biology class, viruses are also not living organisms. Where that statement can go I'm not sure.

I'm not going to say that your idea is stupid or false for sure, but it's just not probable and I don't feel the same.

Actually, Joe, viruses don't move into just anything or any organism. They're parasitic and have specific hosts. This is why cats don't get polio
or the flu and why humans don't get distemper or feline leukemia (unlike human leukemia, feline leukemia is caused by a virus.)

Bacteria are also very specific and require certain conditions for them to survive. Different species require different things, which is why we find
bacteria living in boiling-hot springs that can't live in the soil and soil-living bacteria that can't survive in the ocean.
